Classification

"e.g." has been added below the caption at
PL56.9.A-Z. Since this is a twentieth-century author, this proposal
is not necessary (see the Subject Cataloging Manual: Classification,
F 632, sec. 3).

PT7073.D48

This genre would more appropriately be
established under "Prose and prose fiction" at PT7083. However,
because of the small amount of material classed in that number, it is
not broken down by individual genres. General works as well as
individual genres are classed in the single number. The proposal was
not approved.

Subject Headings

Subdivisions to be added to lists of free-floating subdivisions:

H 1120, Families

$x Health

H 1180, Plants & crops

$x Silica content (May Subd Geog)

Other decisions:

Banu Hizzan (Arab tribe)

Further research is required in ethnology
sources to determine whether there is a more commonly used English
form of name for this group, since the only authority cited was the
item being cataloged. Since the word "Banu" means group, clan, or
tribe, it is not usually included in headings for Arab tribes.
Instead, a UF incorporating that term is normally made. The
appropriate BT is Ethnology--Saudi Arabia. The proposal may
be resubmitted.

Double bass with plucked instrument ensemble; Songs with oud

These proposals are not necessary. See the Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings, H 250.

It appears that this topic may be covered by
the existing headings Holocaust (Christian theology) and Holocaust (Jewish theology). If those headings are inadequate in
their present form, this proposal may be resubmitted together with
proposals to change those headings to Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)--Religious aspects--Christianity and Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)--Religious aspects--Judaism.

Refugees, Cuban

The heading Refugees has been
qualified only by adjectives designating non-national ethnic groups.
National groups are brought out by dividing the heading by place, in
this case Refugees--Cuba. The proposal was not approved.

Summit Creek (Utah County, Utah)

It is unclear why a proposal was submitted to
change this heading to Summit Creek (Utah County, Utah : River).
If there is another type of entity in Utah County, Utah called Summit
Creek that would require the addition of the word River to the
qualifier, such as a city or town, the proposal may be resubmitted with
an explanation and supporting citations.

Sweetheart Abbey (New Abbey, Scotland)

Abbeys are on the list of entities that are
established as name headings (see the Subject Cataloging Manual:
Subject Headings, H 405, Group 1). The proposal to establish this
abbey as a subject heading was not approved.

Tetramorph in art

Since the tetramorph is an inherently
artistic concept, the heading Tetramorph (Christian art) is
sufficient for the item being cataloged. An additional heading for
the concept in art is not needed. The proposal was not approved.
